To be fair I don't suppose admitting when you're wrong is something you identify with, is it?

Yeah I do exactly and rather embarrassed by some of the Duff information I have been fed, I was passing it on and I have now learnt that I need to be more responsible, there was an element of truth in everything it just didn't come off, I knew about Dougie but dressed it as being a good idea some time before plus a few other bits. Kevin Day needs to show a little Humility as we all make mistakes including the Doog, but KD was over the top.

Yeah, Kevin Day was a tad over the top at the beginning. Was so close to forwarding to the Liverpool stuff because of the level of vitriol. I'm certainly not Freedmans biggest fan after everything he did, but Kev went a little overboard IMO.

To be fair Kev did actually make some good points later and I guess will be expressing what many still feel. Not sure I ever got quite that wound up over it but neither do I understand the continued hero worship extending past his playing career. Each to their own. Just don't see the sense of it yet but hopefully it all works out.

TBH I am more worried about transfers at the minute.

If Parish had made a significant financial investment into say, an American ice hockey team but had no direct involvement in strategy - how would he react to those in charge after watching that team evolve eighteen months after his initial finanancial injection?

The pod is usually in tune with the pulse of the fans but felt it was much more upbeat than the general mood.
We've now failed to score in 7 of the last 8 league games during which our record is won 1 lost 7.

Is Parish manoeuvring de Boer out the way in the same manner Pardew was given time; to only find his replacement rather than be a club without a manager for a prolonged period especially during the transfer window? Is this now the reason we are signing Sakho who wasnt previously wanted by de Boer, that now Parish is forcing the playing style and signings to keep consistency from last season and its up to de Boer to make it work or he will be sacked?

There's been a lot of talk about how de Boer's style is contrary to Palace's DNA. However, the manager who started Palace's rise up the Leagues in the early 60s, Arthur Rowe, and whose football first attracted huge crowds to Selhurst Park, was one of the great progressive thinkers of the game and a precursor of the "Ajax style". The Allison / Venables side was the greatest ground filler after that.
Should Palace fans and management learn some history and relent on this painful yearning for the team to be a modern Wimbledon "Crazy Gang". Love the beautiful game, it's the Palace way.

unless we buy 4-5 quality new players in three days without selling any of our better existing players then I would guess that FDB has a less than 5% chance of 'turning it round' no matter how long he is given.
What do you think is the probability of FBD turning it round?
